Posted at 22:35h, 09 OctoberHere’s a free excerpt from Robb Wolf’s book “The Paleo Solution”, if you are looking for some inspiration for the Paleo Challenge.
At the end of this chapter he explains that you need to be grain-free for 30 days to experience the difference, because exposure to gluten anywhere in a 15-day period will reopen microscopic tears in the lining of the intestine.
I’m definitely off grains, and I’ve taken my son off as well. He has Type 1 diabetes, and this is the first explanation I’ve encountered that makes sense of his situation. Didn’t expect to find that out when I started doing Crossfit.
101 Reasons (for time) for doing Crossfit continued…
* You’ll find out a ton of information about nutrition, health, and human performance

* Because you’ll end up doing workouts that you would never even think of attempting, much less successfully executing, on your own

Posted at 12:10h, 10 OctoberThanks Paula for the push over the finish line!

Posted at 19:08h, 10 October… and conversely attempting WODs that look/sound easy and are freakin’ killers, like Paula (my brain insists that’s what Barbara is called)…

Posted at 20:07h, 10 OctoberReasons why I go to CFK:
1. Every now and then there is a workout (like the 2000kg C2OH today) where I am convinced I can’t do it… then I do it and feel the best sense of self pride;
2. ‘Cause unlike other PT’s I’ve had I don’t have to worry about Jim and April yelling at me or making me feel guilty for not having met their weight loss goals for me each week;
3. Because FINALLY I am loosing weight without drinking crap meal replacements or taking appetite suppressants;
4. ‘Cause while my scores are not inspirational to anyone else, I love to celebrate each little success and marvel at each thing I couldn’t do before but can do now.
